Hey guys i just built myself my first computer ever. Pretty stoked at the moment. Anyway the build is:
CPU- I5 4670K
GPU- ASUS GTX770
RAM- GSKILL SNIPER 8G KIT (4GB X2)
MOTHERBOARD- ASUS Z87-C
PSU- COSAIR GS600 V2 ATX

With a 1tb WD blue and 128 sandisk ssd

all inside a fractal define r4

Im just looking on some direction on where go concerning a cpu cooler. i understand the stock cpu cooler is not up to standard with overclocking.

What would you recommend? not looking to spend over 100$

Cheers.

First of all, get a XFX PSU.
They are made by SeaSonic, which are the best PSU makers in the business.
Corsair is made by some other manufacturer and some of their PSUs are of questionable quality.

Case is good, I use that too.
There are many possibilities for fans if you want to use air cooling.

CPU cooler-wise I use a Noctua NH-U14S with my new Core i7 4770 pc.
However I don't overclock.
I'm not sure how the NH-U14S handles overclocking.
You'll have to search for reviews online.
But I'm very satisfied with it so far.
It's completely silent when I'm just on the web or doing other low intensity CPU work.
You literally cannot hear it running even though you can see it is.
